$600,000 to create a five-year strategic plan ... WTF? Why didn't they just give the money to that starving girl in Africa who is going to save the world?

And they don't even ask one real critic what is wrong!?!

They should thrown a few thousand of that over here as a tip for WR.

Founder of Craigslist, Craig Newmark, describes Wikipedia's work to date as "a first draft of history" which probably explains all the focus on war, pornography and rape.

So, I asked on the Discussion page, if someone could enlighten us as to which "critics" were interviewed.

It seems that no critics were interview ... little bit of BS then ... which is convenient for them. Unless you include people like Andrew "HOW A BUNCH OF NOBODIES CREATED THE WORLD’S GREATEST ENCYCLOPEDIA" Lih as a "critic".

On the other hand, it does give us a pretty useful 'hitlist' to start sending follow up letters of concern to, regarding the children administering hard core amateur porn, like Carolyn Miles, Executive Vice President at Save the Children US and other issues.

If they have not interview any critics then they have made a serious mistake.

A little birdy tells me that the folks on the "other projects" are not at all happy.

The only project that SueCo cares about at all besides the English Wikipedia is Commons, and only in its role of being the storage facility for images for the English Wikipedia. The other projects don't generate enough traffic or enough committed JimmyCultists for them to care. Many of them are, in fact, liabilities that they'd be happier to do away with, except that having them allows them to claim to be "IN 303 LANGUAGES" (or whatever the number is).
